Hi,

I'd like test ext4 on my rawhide install, but do not want to do a new
install. Is there a way to upgrade my system partition
(/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00) to ext4 without breaking things? I tried
editing /etc/fstab to use ext4dev (ext4 at first) but computer stopped
booting with newer kernels (those that had initrd generated after the
fstab change...).

I thought mounting as ext4dev was the proper way to do this, so not sure. It should be ext4 after release.

Did older kernels boot with ext4dev in fstab but not new ones? What happened when you tried to boot (switch_root errors?).

If not, then I'd perhaps be willing to do a new installation, but only
via Live Desktop Spin. Is that supported?

Yes you can select ext4 from the live cd installer.
